looks pretty damn stylish
If it’s functional moncler jackets female chic you are after in a parka, then Prada’s lightweight gray satin-finish down parka with a nylon and resin outershell and a white fox-fur collar is warm and stylish (£1,125), finishing above the knee. Max Mara can always be relied upon to give good coat and their black full-length lightweight Capote parka, with a button front and tie waist, gives a long, sleek shape. The fox-fur collar is optional for £145.I don’t know about you, but if I’m wearing a proper parka, then I want all of my extremities to be covered. I’m aware that this is somewhat of an “aged” view (there’s a reason that all of those tiny, waist-hugging Moncler jackets sell so well), but there it is. My compromise for those of you who think ? parkas are bulky is the “thigh grazer,” which, frankly, keeps at least ? of one’s derriere snug. Joseph has wonderful duck-down thigh grazers in a range of colors—petrol blue, red and khaki, with fox-fur collars. If you want something with a more authentic feel, then Zadig & Voltaire’s Koline parka in khaki, with five-star detailing above the pocket, a drawstring waist, zipper front and handy “carry straps,” is just the thing (£410).This being fashion, it wouldn’t be right if someone didn’t turn the whole parka concept on its head (in other words, create items which are not strictly fit for purpose, but add a decorative or radical style “note”). At Miu Miu, you can buy a tiny sleeveless pale-blue blouson with black piping and a zipper, which won’t keep anything aside from your breasts warm, but looks pretty damn stylish. At Commes des Gar?ons, a sculpted gray, short, padded, button-fronted jacket in wool gives the effect of wearing a piece of intricate origami (£1,135). Take note here, the rest of your outfit should bepared down to ensure that the jacket is not wearing you.iven its workman-like genesis, the very best way to wear a parka is with insouciance—preferably over a long, sexy evening dress or a ball gown. No one can persuade the utilitarian and the urbane to sit comfortably together like Ralph Lauren—a man who has no compunction about showing evening dresses with everything from what appears to be sequined blankets to denim jackets. Last year at aChristmas party in New York, I spotted a woman wearing a long Donna Karan dress topped with a chic black ski jacket, from his RLX line.
